Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming BURNET CISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Public Comment Restricted to Agenda Items Only
The district is limiting public comment exclusively to topics already listed on the agenda, preventing parents and taxpayers from raising new or urgent concerns. Additionally, the in-person sign-up window (5:15-5:45 PM) begins after the 5:00 PM meeting start time, which could confuse or deter public participation.
Response
Contact the Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 2, Open Forum rules should encourage, not shut down, public input. Please allow comment on any topic of district business and provide a sign-up window that begins before the meeting starts.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

Undisclosed ‘Required Training’ for School Board
The agenda lists a ‘Team of 8 Required Training’ without disclosing the training provider, the topic, or the cost to taxpayers. This lack of transparency could conceal payments to taxpayer-funded lobbying groups like TASB or for training on controversial ideological subjects.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 3, who is conducting the ‘Team of 8 Required Training,’ what is the topic, and what is the cost? Please provide the training materials for public review before any action is taken.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
